—Genesis 2:1-3
by: Angie Osborn.
Chapter 1 of Genesis ends with the creation of humans. Chapter 2 begins with God resting from his work on the seventh day and declaring it holy. At the end of the week, we can rest from our labor. As Sabbath-keepers, we delight in the seventh day Sabbath and keep it as a day of worship and rest. The Sabbath also marks a “new chapter,” a chance for a new beginning, and a fresh start. As we rest from the toils of the last week, we have a chance to be rejuvenated physically and spiritually for the next week. We are able to lay the labor of the previous week at the feet of our Lord and look forward to the new beginning in the week to come!
